Hyndland Road in Glasgow's West End has been closed for a second consecutive night following a separate police incident.

Hyndland Road in Glasgow's West End has been closed between Clarence Drive and Crown Road following a police report of concern for a person at around 4.50pm on Wednesday, 11 November. This is the second consecutive night the road has been closed. Police Scotland confirmed the incident and urged motorists to use alternative routes.

The closure comes 24 hours after a separate collision on Tuesday evening, 10 November, in which a car struck a bus stop before colliding with pedestrians and scaffolding on the pavement. Seven people were taken to hospital for treatment and assessment following the crash, reported at around 3.45pm. Four schoolchildren were among the injured. The driver was assessed by paramedics at the scene.

One resident described the aftermath of Tuesday's crash as "devastating", telling The Herald: "There were people on the road, others were screaming and people were everywhere on the phone trying to get help. I saw some of the injuries and it was just devastating."

First Minister John Swinney said he was "deeply concerned" by reports of Tuesday's collision, adding that his thoughts were with everyone affected. The Herald understands that Wednesday's incident is not connected to Tuesday's crash, though both occurred at the same location within 24 hours.
